As in wood shop? Or as in a place of business ?

As in wood shop? Or as in a place of business ?

I used to have a 2 car garage but over the past 5 years it has become a fully functional wood shop. I don’t know what made me start other than I would see stuff and think “I can build that”. I wish I could do it for a living but sometimes turning it into work takes the fun out of it. Though I do have plans on opening an online business, hopefully this year. I mostly enjoy doing custom work for people. I outfitted the shop with dust collection, lighting, electric and slowly amassed some quality tools/machines over the years. The latest of which was a monster lathe. I’ve never done wood turning but I’m learning and it is serious fun!

Chairs were completed over the weekend.

And we finished up the couch this week.

Going to start on an 8 foot farmhouse style table for the deck.

Came out great brother, nicely done! Cushions contrast well with the wood.

Is the deck covered ?

Edit: My bad, Paul. I didn't realize you were quoting bsneed at first.

Anyway, just had ours finished. 18x20 & screened. We waited 10 months for the contractor to free up. Paid covid lumber inflation which sucked a fatty.

Any other decks out there?

Is the deck covered ?

It is not. I'm using a plan to leave some gaps for the water to drain, and use weather proof poly. I'll likely move it in to storage in the winter.

Nothing's too good for my dog.

I’m not a good woodworker, by any means, but when everything is made from scraps you have cluttering up the garage, it feels like a win.

It's always hard to find a good use for boxes and bands, right? Feels like such a waste to toss them but they just start to take up space. An idea that came to mind here is topping this bad boy off with about 1/4" of clear epoxy for a pro finish.

Now I see why you need the Kubota. You'll be ready for a drink or ten by the time you wrap that chore up! Good luck.
